Note 105 — ITER BOREALE
Reading edition
The clerical profligate thus gibbeted for the example of posterity was John Bust, inducted the 8th of April, 1611. He seems to have been a worthy prototype of the Natta of antiquity:
Non pudet ad morem discincti vivere Nattæ? Sed stupet hic vitio, et fibris increvit opimum Pingue; caret culpa; nescit quid perdat, et alto Demersus, summa rursum non bullit in unda. Persius, iii. 31.
